Correction, well sort of, from last column. When I said that I had a week off in yesterday's column, I meant from school, and NOT taking a week off from the Phat Daily Column. Sure, I MIGHT think about it once the streak of one year of consecutive columns finally comes, but nothing now. I just have a week off from school until the new Spring Quarter arrives. This should ensure a nicer Mr. Tito, as the pressure and stress of school has been making me a meaner Tito...or at least that's my excuse. :)
-Lots of reports are saying that Stone Cold and HBK will appear at WWF Axess, but NOT Wrestlemania. I call it bluff. For one, why would they attend that and NOT attend Wrestlemania? Also, what would a Wrestlemania be without the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Micheals? Plus, Wrestlemania is supposed to be filled with lots of surprises and fun, and what better way to do that than to have Stone Cold and HBK involved in some way? Just my opinion.
-Well wouldn't you know it, Scott Steroids Steiner has been officially cleared to wrestle by doctors. Oh yes, it's time for him to show everyone what he talks about, and to be a very big threat in the ring again. Yes, you can start the list again of wrestlers who want no part of Big Poppa Pump in the ring due to his very stiff moves and attitude or temper. Oh well, that's for WCW to control, which they didn't when Steiner was wrestling before, so I blame the roid rages on WCW!
Next off, Barry Blaustein. He came across to me as a man full of hot air, as he seemed cocky that he just became the God of Wrestling Knowledge because he was able to make a film. He was whining and crying about Vince not putting ads of his documentary on his shows, and he was just talking stupid on certain topics. Yeah, now I know why Vince could care less for the guy at this point! Also, again with Piper, get that man an education. At least in this show, he wasn't yelling, but the man made no damn sense whatsoever on topics.
Hulk Hogan really surprised me though, as he had some good insights to provide on wrestling. He's been injured a lot too, as he showed or told us every injury that he had. He's been through a lot. He also talked about certain aspects of how wrestlers behave and what goes on backstage. I was expecting his "Me, Myself, and I" attitude to kick in, but it didn't. Shocking! Again, Mick Foley came across to me as the smartest man there, and from just only reading the first 4 chapters of his book so far, I'm convinced that Mick is the smartest wrestler in professional wrestling!
The whole show was somewhat disorganized, mixing from topic to topic, with Piper doing way too much of the talking. Also, you can tell the folks at Time Warner sent memos to Larry King, because he promoted Uncensored like crazy throughout the show! Overall, a decent show, but get some intelligent beings next time you do a show, Larry King, about wrestling. Maybe not even host the show next time as well.
Opening Match, which was a quickie, had the Impact Players win a match versus Nova and Chetti. Great screwjob finish to end it quick, thus ending any eyesores that could have happened watching the Impact Players wrestle!
Next up, Sandman vs. Angel. I like Sandman, but please cut down those intrances! Good thing I taped it! Prepare to Fast Foward! Good ole violent match, with some good cane shots from the Sandman. Usually, his opponents take many o' cane shots and not get pinned by them. Not Angel.
NEW JACK!!!!! God, I missed him wrestling on the TNN show. He's the original gangsta that I enjoyed way back in late 96 and early 97, as I still do today. It's funny, however, how New Jack can jump off a balcony and keep getting up, but when he gets the WEAKEST SPEAR IN HISTORY by Rhino, he gets pinned. I sure as hell didn't get that. Tajiri came into the ring. Hey, booking idea! New Jack vs. Tajiri!!!
Ok, I've seen them too many times. It's got to the point that I've seen Tanaka and Awesome wrestle on TNN WAY too much. It's been over 5 times now, and this one was probably the weakest one of the bunch. A few good table spots in this match, but a no contest at the end with Raven "Baby on Board" coming out, which seemed to leave Joey Styles speechless, put a bad impression in my book.
@I guess that's all of the trouble that I can stir for today. I'll be back with my wonderful Uncensored predictions, so just chill until the next episode! 11 days until 1 Year of Consecutive Columns
